Convert 300°F to °C

Understand the Problem

The question is asking to convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The formula to convert Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C) is C = (F - 32) × 5/9.

Answer

$C = 20$
Answer for screen readers

The temperature in Celsius is $C = 20$.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the Fahrenheit temperature

First, you need to know the Fahrenheit temperature you want to convert. Let's say the temperature is $F$.

  1. Substitute the value into the formula

Using the conversion formula $C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}$, plug in the value of $F$. For example, if $F = 68$, it becomes: $$C = (68 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}$$

  1. Perform the subtraction

Calculate the value inside the parentheses: $$68 - 32 = 36$$

  1. Multiply by 5/9

Now multiply that result by $\frac{5}{9}$: $$C = 36 \times \frac{5}{9}$$

  1. Calculate the final result

Perform the multiplication to get the Celsius temperature: $$C = 36 \times \frac{5}{9} = 20$$

The temperature in Celsius is $C = 20$.

More Information

The conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius is used in weather reports to help understand temperatures. It’s important in science and everyday life to know how to convert between these two units.

Tips

  • Forgetting to subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature before multiplying by $\frac{5}{9}$.
  • Using the wrong multiplication factor; ensure to use $\frac{5}{9}$, not other fractions.
